The intermittent nature of renewable wind and solar energy arising from fluctuations in weather conditions requires the development of efficient and cost-effective large-scale energy-storage systems to create a steady supply of electrical energy for most applications.
980DP steel was studied using a new Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy apparatus to measure the hydrogen concentration in the DP steel, to evaluate the equivalent hydrogen fugacity, and to identify the trap activation energy and the associated hydrogen traps.
Electrochemical permeation experiments are used to investigate hydrogen diffusivity and trapping characteristics in different grades of MS-AHSS steel.
Researchers from Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo have used layer-by-layer assembly to create stabilized films of nanoparticles for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
Hydrogen won’t be a viable fuel source without a replacement catalyst for platinum. This MoS2 hybrid looks set to provide some realistic competition.
Internal interfaces in the Li3N/[LiNH2 + 2LiH] solid-state hydrogen storage system alter the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reaction pathways upon nanosizing, suppressing undesirable intermediate phases to dramatically improve kinetics and reversibility.
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed mesoporous silicon nanospheres that can be used for photocatalytic hydrogen production.
Coradia iLint is the name of a new emission-free regional train that might be an alternative to diesel power.
Researchers develop nanoscale materials that can improve the activities and stabilities of HER catalysts.
In his latest piece, Professor Ozin considers the possibility of basing a future hydrogen economy on platinum catalysts.
